To try to educate clueless folks like you.
When did I defend Kawhi for taking bad shots?
To try to educate clueless folks like you.
If an average night of shooting is like 50%, a good night is better and a bad night is around 40% then it doesn't bother me. It seems if nothing is falling he effects the game in other ways.
Yes, because it's better to see LMA brick some more contested long fadeaway shots on one leg.
Similar to Lebron's 2015 finals.
Obviously there's merit to both sides, and I'm not saying Kawhi is just selfish. He's awesome and fun to watch; but he has been taking some bad shots (specially looking tired on the 2nd night of a back to back), and they're aren't winning anything without a more balanced offense, except Lebron's 2015 media FMVP.
Not buying the thought that we just can't play The Beautiful Game like 2014 cause we have different personnel.
Can we be as good as 2014? Well probably not since that was one of the GOAT.
But we have all kinds of players that can pass and shoot.
This nonsense that we occasionally (but especially in crunch time of close game) have to throw it to Kwa and stand around -losing strategy.
Will get exposed again in playoffs if Chief Cementhead insists we try it again.
Imitate the 2014 TEAM game and see how far it goes.
He played 40mins in both games.
I don't think they can just try imitate that team. Especially more then halfway through the season.
Why not?
Already seen stretches of it this season.
If not for Kawhi, in each of the past two games we'd have been not just beaten but blown out by a couple bottom-feeding wannabes.
I'm sure everyone on the team, this board and in the stands is aware the rest of our squad is at best about a 7 seed. I'm personally not sure we even make the playoffs without KL. Seriously, who would be making shots? Lee and Dedmon have been our next two best players lately, but they're not dropping 30.
Totally agree with that.
Tony Parker can imitate the Tony Parker that averaged 17 PPG in the playoffs.
Danny Green can imitate the Danny Green that shot .475 from 3P in the playoffs.
Kyle Anderson can imitate the Boris Diaw that led the team in AST's in the Finals.
Manu can imitate a younger Manu who still has his wheels.
It'll be perfect.
Just curious, though. Who's going to imitate Tim Duncan?
No chit.
And he had two great assists vs New Orleans.
Completely set up the shooters.
One was a Patty trey and I can't remember the other one, but they were both clutch and pivotal.
You can go ahead be a Negative Nancy on this team having ball movement vs Stand n Veg.
Plenty of stretches this season where ball movement has worked.
A lot of the same players do better in ball movement.
You're right, Kobe was not as bad as Carmelo, but we and others won countless games against the Lakers because Kobe shot them out of the game. He would go something like 6/25 for the game or get 20 points on 33 shots and there is no way to overcome that. His ego lost them a lot of games.
Why are you getting so angry? I said that I like your plan.
backpedaling for some morning exercise?
I sometimes seriously wonder what this forum would want more..Kawhi MVP? Or LMA FMVP? Serious question tbh
You mean Kwa with MVP but no Finals win? no.
vs
LMA FMVP with Finals win? Yes. Every season for the next 6 years. To infinity and beyond.
I mean NO MVP for Kawhi. No FMVP for Kawhi
Spurs win Finals but LMA gets FMVP..
Moral of story? Some but not most people on this board care about the name on the back of jersey and not the front..#PlayerFan
Not me. I only care about a Kawhi MVP as long as it helps the team with the LOB.
Exactly

Obviously the ultimate goal is a championship weather Kawhi gets MVP or not. Pop is no different then any other coach who has a superstar player. He's going to ride that player as far as they can take the team. He did the same with prime TD and Parker and now is doing it with Kawhi which could lead Kawhi possibly winning MVP. This wasn't an issue back when TD was in the same position.
LOL. You thought that was backpedaling? Then I understand how you might think this team could imitate the 2014 team.
Good discussion. Really.
Why not have Aldridge give it a shot by putting up a double double every game of the playoffs and being a quiet leader....
Ironically it was in the New Orleans game that Boogie was getting testy per usual. That got LMA testy and his own effort increased.
If we could get LMA to put forth max effort every playoff game.
Yeah, and when Kawhi starts doing that on the regular like Kirby did then your dumb thread will have a point. Right now you just come off as a huge idiot.
